	Sabra and Shatila Massacre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Sabra and Shatila massacre (or Sabra and Chatila massacre) was carried out in September 1982 by the Lebanese Christian militias, in Israeli-occupied Beirut, Lebanon.
		Massacres among different ethnic groups were not uncommon during that civil war, which claimed up to 100,000 victims between 1975 and 1990, but Israel claims its experience working with the Phalanges before the massacres did not indicate a tendency among them for violence against civilians.
		Israel's participation in prior massacres directed against Palestinian people creates a most disturbing pattern of a political struggle carried on by means of mass terror directed at the civilians, including women, children, and the aged.
